​
Q: What should I expect to do at the Birthday Party?
A: We start our parties with a brief talk about “what is a family farm?” and “what can kids do on a farm?”. After that we head into the garden where we talk about the plants, and feeding your body good food, we will pick both people food (if in season) and animal food (weeding). Then we will take the animal food to the chickens. At the chicken coop we will teach about the chickens and how they help us and how we help them. The children will learn how to feed a chicken out of their hands, and if there are any eggs to be collected, they can give it a shot! Then we will go to the horse barn, where we will teach about the horses, the children will get a chance to groom the horses and every child will get to ride a horse or pony!
Our portion of the party is roughly an hour and a half, leaving you an hour to enjoy cake, presents, celebration.
